==Current requests for unprotection==
{{Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection/URheading}}

==== {{la|Cold fusion}} ====
Article was protected as a result of edit warring based on a request from the principal edit warrior, who then, pending the protection, made major changes to the article, thus gaming the system. There is a history with diffs at Talk for the protecting admin, , and please see the next section where the editor responds and I invite a topic ban on both of us. While I had not been edit warring with the recent incident, the complaining editor asserted that I was, in the complaint, so to expedite article unprotection so that regular editors may deal with the wreckage, I offered to accept this ban if the complaining editor was likewise banned, pending resolution. That editor accepted this, in substance, but the protecting admin declined to respond, seeming to think that we were still in conflict. Because of this, I'm asking here for an admin to look at the incident, and at the agreement on my Talk page at ], . Because the other editor has not accepted the clarified agreement, it might be prudent for an unprotecting administrator to make the agreement binding by imposing it (as written, it still could be lifted on 24 hour notice by either editor), or otherwise to block or ban to allow the article to be safely unprotected. As it stands, the article was protected into a state that was not consensus, and which was only created by the complaining editor after requesting protection; the lead has been made highly POV -- in my opinion, and I'm sure that is also editorial consensus, that last-minute, gamed edit flew in the face of long established consensus to not call ] "pathological science" in the lead, and whatever substance there is to that was repeated with "pariah field." I'm not asking for ''any'' content decision here, just review of editor behavior or, alternatively, recognition that with a article topic ban of the only two editors who did any serious edit warring on the article recently, there is no further need for protection. --] (]) 01:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

    Welcome—request protection of a page, file, or template here.
    Shortcuts

    Before requesting, read the protection policy. Full protection is used to stop edit warring between multiple users or to prevent vandalism to high-risk templates; semi-protection and pending changes are usually used to prevent IP and new user vandalism (see the rough guide to semi-protection); and move protection is used to stop pagemove revert wars. Extended confirmed protection is used where semi-protection has proved insufficient (see the rough guide to extended confirmed protection)

    After a page has been protected, it is listed in the page history and logs with a short rationale, and the article is listed on Special:Protectedpages. In the case of full protection due to edit warring, admins should not revert to specific versions of the page, except to get rid of obvious vandalism.

    Current requests for reduction in protection level

    Request unprotection of a page, or reducing the protection level Request unprotection Shortcuts

    Before posting, first discuss with the protecting admin on their talk page. Post below only if you receive no reply.

    • To find out the username of the admin who protected the page, click on "history" at the top of the page, then click on "View logs for this page," which is under the title of the page. The protecting admin is the username in blue before the words "protected", "changed protection level" or "pending changes". If there are a number of entries on the log page, you might find it easier to select "Protection log" or "Pending changes log" from the dropdown menu in the blue box.
    • Requests to downgrade full protection to template protection on templates and modules can be directed straight here; you do not need to ask the protecting admin first.
    • Requests for removing create protection on redlinked articles are generally assisted by having a draft version of the intended article prepared beforehand.
    • If you want to make spelling corrections or add uncontroversial information to a protected page, please add {{Edit fully-protected}} to the article's talk page, along with an explanation of what you want to add to the page. If the talk page is protected, please use the section below.

    Check the archives if you cannot find your request. Only recently answered requests are still listed here.

    Shortcuts

    Current requests for edits to a protected page

    Request a specific edit to a protected page
    Please request an edit directly on the protected page's talk page before posting here Request edit Shortcut

    Ideally, requests should be made on the article talk page rather than here.

    • Unless the talk page itself is protected, you may instead add the appropriate template among {{Edit protected}}, {{Edit template-protected}}, {{Edit extended-protected}}, or {{Edit semi-protected}} to the article's talk page if you would like to make a change rather than requesting it here. Doing so will automatically place the page in the appropriate category for the request to be reviewed.
    • Where requests are made due to the editor having a conflict of interest (COI; see Misplaced Pages:Suggestions for COI compliance), the {{Edit COI}} template should be used.
    • Requests to move move-protected pages should be made at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves, not here.
    • If the discussion page and the article are both protected preventing you from making an edit request, this page is the right place to make that request. Please see the top of this page for instructions on how to post requests.
    • This page is not for continuing or starting discussions regarding content should both an article and its discussion page be protected. Please make a request only if you have a specific edit you wish to make.
